Public Hearing

Where: City of Pulman Council Chambers, Pullman City Hall 325 SE Paradise St.

Why: Discuss the proposed fare increase to Pullman Transit services.

Pullman Transit has not increased fares since 1999, and is proposing to do so in an effort to increase local funding and offset the rising cost of porviding this essential service. As proposed, fares would double over two years, but still remain among the lowest in the state. For example, the full adult one-way fare would go from $0.50 to $0.75 in August 2017, then two years later, in August 2019 it would bump up to a full $1.00. All levels of fares and passes would be adjusted accordingly. The proposed fare structure incentivizes purchasing tokens and passes in advance. Below is the current and proposed fare table.
